Fundamentals and Applications of Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy
This note provides an overview of the principles and applications 
of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy, a powerful technique for elemental 
analysis. Prof. Yalc discusses the physics that underlies LIBS, including the 
formation and evolution of laser plasmas, and shows the components of a LIBS 
system, including lasers, optics, and detection systems. The note explores 
further the use of laser plasma excitation for spectrochemical analysis, which 
is applicable to gases, liquids, solids, and particles. A special issue like 
double pulse LIBS, resonance-enhanced LIBS, and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF-LIBS) 
are also covered. The importance of this note lies in the recent advances and 
applications in the areas of materials science as well as environmental 
analysis.
